#Google just announced that going forward, any account not logged into for two years gets deleted.

This means huge amounts of rare or unique #video is about to disappear from #YouTube as accounts get flagged as inactive, such as when the user dies. Families' #HomeMovies (often posted by an older relative for their family's benefit), historical footage, rare #television clips, etc. What an incalculable loss to human #history and culture!

If there are videos important to you on someone else's video channel, find a way to download them. And if you have rare #media of historical importance, consider leaving it to institutional #archives or lending it to archives for digital preservation.

Oh, FFS.

My takeaway is that the problem is that the NHS cannot cope, and naturally private companies exploit this as they do everything else.

The blame for this situation, for these wrong diagnoses, exploitation of desperate people and failing services, is with thirteen years of ideological destruction of socialised #healthcare by the far right Tory governments from Cameron to Sunak, rw media barons etc

And everyone who ever voted Tory.

This video is a gift that keeps on giving.

It’s a part of the war that gets far less attention: on the home front, the mostly female crowd, led by mothers and sisters and daughters and wives, are demanding greater govt recognition for the sacrifices their families have endured since 2014.

@feijoa three halves,
Music, jury vote, public vote.

There are plenty of songs this year we’ll have on our playlists for a while to come, which is a rarity. Bloody hell it was a good’un.

#eurovision #eurovision2023

I have never really been a fan of #eurovision, but this year the event has stolen my heart. From the opening to the middle to the end the whole show has made me realize that music can bring us together. It can save people. It can change the world.
